Re: Just a thought

With all due respect to the Legend, he would have had his hands full
with Pippin, given roughly equal officiating.  Pippen is an even
better defender than both Dennis Rodman and Michael Cooper, both of
whom gave Larry fits.  I think Larrry would still figure out a way to
foul Scottie out, or to run him into the Chief, but the later, tougher
Scottie Pippin would have had his way with Larry on offense, and made
his life difficult on defense.  Of course, he would be helpless under
the boards.

IMHO,

Josh
